Walking Back In Time From 1600 To Antiquity By Decades. Looking For 440s

I'm out for a couple of decades.

Most collectors of Ancients like Greek and Roman coins. I knew this was going to happen around this time period :(

@ A. M. - If we were to 'skip' the 50's I could post this for the 40's.

1042 - 1066 Edward The Confessor (King)
A.R. 20 'Penny' Mint - Wallingford

Edward the Confessor (somewhere between 1003 and 1005 - 5 January 1066), son of Æthelred the Unready and Emma of Normandy, was one of the last Anglo-Saxon Kings of England and is usually regarded as the last king of the House of Wessex, ruling from 1042 to 1066.
Edward is called 'Confessor', the name for someone believed to have lived a saintly life but who was not a martyr.
Edward succeeded Cnut the Great's son Harthacnut, restoring the rule of the House of Wessex after the period of Danish rule since Cnut conquered England in 1016. When Edward died in 1066 he was succeeded by Harold Godwinson, who was defeated and killed in the same year by the Normans under 'William The Conqueror' at 'The Battle of Hastings' in 1066.








Of interest is the name 'Edward'. There were eleven Kings of 'England' who shared the name 'Edward'.
'Edward the Elder' - 899 - 924
'Edward the Martyr' - 975 - 978
'Edward the Confessor' - 1042 - 1066
'Edward the First - 1272 - 1307
through to
'Edward the Eighth' (VIII) - 1936 - who, in the same year that he became King, desired to marry a twice divorced American socialite by the name of Mrs Wallis Simpson. This was an 'unheard of' thing for a King of England to do, so Edward VIII had to choose between the throne or the American divorcee. He chose the latter, and he 'abdicated' the throne of England, forever renouncing any claim, and became the Duke of Windsor.

I just purchased something I could post here but I dont have it yet.


@ TC I would hate to be the bearer of bad news but I strongly doubt the authenticity of that most recent post. Hammered Penny.

AN, please post the pic now.

Okay!
1050-1041.

Augustus Maximus, is leaving the forum to continue his studies abroad and will not be able to continue to run this thread. I will miss his knowledge and input. Best wishes in your studies and future endeavors.

With AM leaving we will need someone to take over this thread. So if anyone is interested please contact me. This has been a very interesting thread that I would like to keep going but it does need someone to oversee it.
